Hpmf, so anonymous struct leads to this now.

I wonder if we could wrap it with an union to have both named access to it 
(to get the pointer without casting) while retaining anonymous access to 
its members:

struct capdata01 {
	union {
		struct capdata00;
		struct capdata00 cd00;
	};
	...

...If it's not possible, then I'll have to accept the cast I guess.
